Actor, picture categories exclusive

Interesting analysis from Edward Copeland this morning: "This may well be the first time where four out of the 5 nominees for best actor are the only nominations for their films and no nominee comes from a best picture nominee."

True, none of the films in the best actor category are up for best picture:

BEST ACTOR
Leonardo DiCaprio (Blood Diamond)
Ryan Gosling (Half Nelson)
Peter O'Toole (Venus)
Will Smith (The Pursuit of Happyness)
Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland)
